Annie

“I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. I hated the sunsets of whatever colour, I hated its beauty and its magic and the secret I would never know. I hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. Above all I hated her. For she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. She had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what I had lost before I found it.”
― Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea

“Όταν έπρεπε να κόψω όλους τους άγριους θάμνους να ελευθερωθεί το τοπίο, δεν το 'κανα. Λυπήθηκα τα φίδια, που δεν θα είχαν άλλες φωλιές για να κρυφτούν. Όταν έπρεπε να φυλάξω λίγο νερό, για ώρα ανάγκης, δεν το 'κανα. Λυπήθηκα τ' αδέσποτα, που διψούσαν.”
― Alkyoni Papadaki, Το ταξίδι που λέγαμε...

“‎"she’ mad but she’
magic. there’ no lie in her fire.”
― Charles Bukowski

“I would never be part of anything. I would never really belong anywhere, and I knew it, and all my life would be the same, trying to belong, and failing. Always something would go wrong. I am a stranger and I always will be, and after all I didn’t really care.”
― Jean Rhys, Smile Please: An Unfinished Autobiography
